PHYSICIAN/PATIENT PREFERENCES IN HYSTERECTOMY

DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this project is to study physician and patient
preferences in hysterectomy. The application proposes to conduct a series of
qualitative, focus group interviews with physicians and patients regarding
issues that affect preferences and decision making surrounding the question of
whether to undergo a hysterectomy. This project will use physician focus
groups to identify factors contributing to clinician's decision regarding the
surgical approaches to hysterectomy, and patient focus groups to determine the
contribution of patient needs, preferences, availability, and use of health
care information in the patient decision making process for hysterectomy. From
analysis of the content of these interviews, the researchers propose to
identify the ways patients needs, preferences, and use of health care
information impacts their clinical decisions.
